NEW: Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon, the face of her country’s independence movement for eight years, has announced her intention to resign.
“In my head and in my heart I know that time is now,“ she told reporters. ”That it’s right for me, for my party and my country.”
“Of course there are difficult issues confronting the government just now, but when is that ever not the case?’’ she said. While the Scottish parliament approved the legislation, it has been blocked by the British government because it would present problems for authorities in other parts of the U.K., where a medical diagnosis is needed before individuals can transition for legal purposes.
